- REVIEWS-
"SXOKONDO désoriente notre perception, jouant avec nos nerfs et nous poussant dans nos derniers retranchements par son climat malsain explosant soudain dans une férocité crue. Un EP exigeant pour public averti."
- Eklektik Rock
"This swiss hardcore quartet (quintet actually) show much more ambition than their peers while still retaining a raw edge that flaunts their Botch and Breach influences. A tantalising proposition that will hopefully yield a full-length soon."
- Metal Hammer
"Chacun à leur manière, les trois titres qui le composent transpirent l'urgence, hurlent leur rage et leur désenchantement."
- New Noise
"Das hier ist jeden Falls nicht Positive Mental Attitude, sondern auf der dunklen Seite zuhause"
- Visions Magazin
"Una lunga litania di morte viene sconquassata da boati in un crescendo sempre più crudele, sbilenco, malato."
- Grind on the Road
"Es wird wütender Hardcore mit Dissonanz gepaart, es gibt stimmungsvoll-schleppende Songteile und brutal-klingende Growls und Screams."
- Tongues of Destruction
"Il y a cette inspiration évidente des ambiances hardcore début 2000, qui se voit magnifiée par une production qui fait très naturelle. On a l’impression d’entendre le groupe jouer en live, ce qui apporte une authenticité brute à « Flesh And Sky » qui est plus qu’appréciable, loin des surproductions actuelles."
- Among the living
"When they do let rip, it is chaos on another level and up there as the very best of what modern hardcore can do."
- Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life
" Flesh and Sky features more noisy, unsettled hardcore songs that are recommended if you like Botch, Breach, and early Converge."

lyrics
Light a candle
The god in them died
Empty skies
Hell over their shoulders
Silent bodies
Shapeless and hollow
They wait to enter
The last circle
Left on earth
To be destroyed
Scattered ashes
The devil in us gloats
Acid rains
Burn what's left of them
See their flesh exposed
The wait is over
Left on earth to be destroyed
They have been transfigured
Shivers in their neck
We've danced too much
We are the slaved masters
Trading scars and broken bones
We've danced too much
Merchants of death
In a sea of desolation
Light a candle
The god in us died
Empty skies
Hell over our shoulders
We wait to enter
The last circle

Even for this genre the sheer intensity of this album always manages to floor me. Might not be the most unique album under the sun but it doesn't have to be; the performances are tight and ferocious, the songwriting is dynamic and explosive, the production is crushing, it's just all things to a mathcore fan. napalmsatan

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250

Par rapport au monstrueux A Dawn to Fear, The Raging River est un album qui paraît presque raisonnable. Sauf qu’il est dans la continuité de Cult of Luna, c’est-à-dire pas raisonnable du tout. Comme bande-son de fin du monde, il se pose un peu là: à l’instar de son titre, il va balloter l’auditeur entre cailloux, troncs arrachés et débris divers.
